How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the OWS... →
99supercommittee: Awesome Article! He Just lays it out. Love Matt Taibbi What both sides missed is that OWS is tired of all of this. They don’t care what we think they’re about, or should be about. They just want something different. We’re all born wanting the freedom to imagine a better and more beautiful future. But modern America has become a place so drearily confining and predictable...

10 Ways the Occupy Movement Changes Everything →
rainydaywoman12and35: Occupy Your Mind! 1. It names the source of the crisis. The problems of the 99% are caused by Wall Street greed, corrupt banks, and a corporate take-over of the political system. 2. It provides a clear vision of the world we want. We can create a world that works for everyone, not just the wealthiest 1%. 3. It sets a new standard for public debate. Those advocating...

Local Cops Ready for War With Homeland...
“A decade of billions in spending in the name of homeland security has armed local police departments with military-style equipment and a new commando mentality. But has it gone too far?” One friend posed a great question: When you create guardian soldiers how do you differentiate HOME and a WAR ZONE? This is not fiscally responsible! When do we say no more? Check out the...

Prison costs more than an Ivy League Education
“America has the highest incarceration rate by population, but is only 6th in the world when it comes to college degrees.” REALLY? One year of prison costs more than a year at an Ivy League school? Something is WRONG with that. Stand for education and the 99% Let’s Occupy our minds and think for ourselves! Source: The Atlantic

soulofthe-world asked: Hey so there's this SUPER awesome film called We're Not Broke premiering at the Sundance Film Festival (!!!). It's primarily about how 2/3 of corporations don't pay any taxes, and how they get away with that. Occupy Wall Street is also in it. :) Check out it's Twitter - @WereNotBroke - & it would be great if you would share it with your followers on here. THANK YOU!!...

Does Inequality Make Us Unhappy? →
occupy-anthro: Inequality is inevitable; life is a bell curve. Such are the brute facts of biology, which can only evolve because some living things are better at reproducing than others. But not all inequality is created equal. In recent years, it’s become clear that many kinds of wealth disparity are perfectly acceptable — capitalism could not exist otherwise — while alternate forms make...

thepeoplesrecord replied to your video: An Occupy Wall Street activist explains why he… I think its important that we don’t otherize ANY group of people in this movement, even people with a-typical brains, even if those people are the 1%. I definitely applaud sharing the information but some of the language used here is dangerous. I agree. To clarify to everyone: this is not shared in hopes of...

Overcoming Male Supremacy (or White, or Wealth, or... →
The full wealth of knowledge and skills available to the group is severely limited by such behavior. Women and men who feel less assertive than others or who don’t feel comfortable participating in a competitive atmosphere are cut off from the interchange of experience and ideas. As men, we can be responsible to others and ourselves in groups by taking only our fair share of talking time,...
